(Doc. 4.) The matter is suitable for submission without oral argument, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1. Under Local Rule 7.1(f), failure to file a timely written opposition "may constitute a consent to the granting of a motion or other request for ruling by the court." Civ. L. R. 7.1(f)(3)(c). Failure to follow a district court's local rule is a proper ground for dismissal. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995) (citing United States v. Warren, 601 F.2d 471, 474 (9th Cir. 1979). "Although we construe pleadings liberally in their favor, pro se litigants are bound by the rules of procedure in federal court." Ghazali, 46 F.3d at 54. Plaintiff failed to file an opposition to the motion, and the time for doing so has expired. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
